15 affordable interior design ideas

1. Vintage never runs out of style

Vintage pieces can be a great way to make sure your living room feels cozy, inviting, and nostalgic.
They are a great way to add some
character and personality to your home.
Here’s how vintage items can spice up the
space.
● Put plants on top of an antique
dresser or cabinet. You can find
all sorts of different plants that
could thrive well under
conditions like that, for e.g.
succulents and cacti.
● Hang string lights above a
fireplace or around the edges of a
large wooden mantle. The light
will reflect off the wood, thus
creating an intimate atmosphere
perfect for reading or chatting up your friends and family members after dinner is over.

2. Personalizing is always a good idea

In the past when people decorated their living rooms, they thought about how it would look and feel
without considering how much time they actually needed to spend in that space. These days people
decorate their living rooms after considering how they’d go about personalizing it. They want to
make it feel more welcoming to any potential guests.
● Have objects around that show your interests, hobbies, or travels.
● Have objects that symbolize cherished memories.
● Hang handmade paintings.
● Decorate the walls with family pictures.

3. Bold furnishing

Adding some bold furniture to the mix can really make the place stand out more. Remember, you
need to match your bold style against neutral walls, lowkey windows, and versatile upholstered
pieces. Consider getting:
● High-impact fabrics.
● Bold colors that pop.
● Eye-catching aesthetic silhouettes.
● Contrasting furniture.
● Colorful rugs, curtains, and cushions.
● Vibrant paintings.

4. Use Artwork

Art is a great way to add some personality to a room. Artwork can hang from the walls, above a
fireplace, as curtains, or it can even be draped over the backs of chairs.
Art has become a popular way for people to decorate their homes and make them their own. The
process of designing an interior space with artwork can be exciting, and enjoyable. It can help you
explore your individual style. One thing to keep in mind though when you’re buying artwork, the size. You should always check the size of each frame. If it’s too large or too small for the
wall, it will not fit and will stick out like a sore thumb.
Where would you want to hang an art piece on your wall? Are there any particular locations that you
have in mind? Etchings can similarly be used in creative ways such as being framed and hung on the
wall, or turned into a tablecloth. It can also be used as an overhead decoration.

5. Get Racks for an organized look!

The best way to make your home look organized, use racks. They’re not expensive, and you can use
them in different rooms of the house: living room, bedroom, and bathroom.
You get more space because most of the items that litter the floors will now be stored on one of
these racks. It will make it easier to clean up, you can stow away things in those shelves or boxes
and stack them on top of each other.
Moreover, it adds elegance to your home. Get racks that match the furniture or go with the color
scheme, ones that will work well with your overarching themes.
6. Change the doors
Consider how many times a day you enter or exit a room in your home. The doors to the rooms in
our houses have the power to either make us feel welcomed and safe, or isolated and disconnected
from the space around us. If you are looking for ways to add some flair and personality to them
while also staying within your budget, here are five creative door swap ideas that won’t break your
piggy bank:
● Paint an accent wall behind a door, with cheerful colors;
● Refurbish door hardware;
● Install stained glass window panes over an entryway;
● Create a focal point

7. Strategic Seating

Strategic seating is an affordable way to add space to a small room. It’s very convenient because it
folds up and makes it easier for people to store it away when they don’t need it. You can also create
a little "guest area" for your friends and family members when you want them to come over during
the day or if you have guests over at night.
8. Rug it up

Rugs are often overlooked as an element in any design scheme, but they can be a key component to
creating a cozy atmosphere in any room.
Here are two types of rugs that can really change the look of your interior living space:
● Woolen Rugs: If you’re looking for an affordable rug that is both stylish and durable, woolen
rugs are the best option. They are made of 100% wool which ensures that they will last a
very long time without stretching or becoming damaged.
● Silk Rugs: You can never go wrong with silk rugs! They are usually more expensive than
other types of rugs such as cotton, but they also come in a wide variety of colors and
patterns.

9. Add Mirrors

Mirrors are a great way to make any space look bigger and brighter. They provide a more reflective
surface than paint, wallpaper, or any other type of surface. Mirrors have the ability to make any
room seem more spacious, even if it is small.
In addition to making the room feel larger, mirrors can add a decorative element to the room that is.
Mirrors give off light, which also helps counter light coming off from the lamps or natural daylight.
In addition to providing light themselves, mirrors typically reflect existing light and make lights in
the room appear brighter than they actually are.
10. Add attractive hardware
The possibilities are endless with
the wide variety of materials,
colors, and shapes that house
hardware have to offer. Whether
you are looking for something
traditional or trendy, there is
sophisticated hardware to add
pizzazz to your interior design.
What is the right hardware for
each room? If you have a small
kitchen, it might be smart to use a
few hooks rather than a long row
of cabinets. On the other hand, if
you need storage above your
fridge or a stove in your kitchen,
then consider adding a shelf rack
instead of just an open space with no shelves.

11. Remember to Accessorize

Accessorizing your space with the right decor items can help you create a chic and lived-in ambient
house.
Another way to make a room seem more welcoming, add a bench or stool. You can find these at any
furniture store or even at garage sales. Another thing you could do is paint the walls. Not only will
painting the walls give your room some color it will also make the space feel fresh and new.
Even if you don’t have much money left over by the end of the month, there’s still one thing that you
can do: purchase some colorful throw pillows for your couch! No matter what type of furniture you
have in the room, no one will be able to resist sitting on it if they know they’re getting an extra nice
plush pillow to snuggle up with.

12. Wall Mounting

A good option for people who don’t have enough space or enough money to buy all the materials
needed for a proper installation, wall mounting. It is one of the most effective ways to mount your
TVs, on a budget (there is no need for drilling). In order to make this work, it is necessary that the
chosen wall be sturdy enough to not get damaged while the screws or supports are fixed into place.

13. Keep the Lighting Neutral

In most cases, the light from windows can only take up so much space. If you are looking to save
money on your interior design, try to keep the lighting neutral. Neutral colors like white and beige
don’t need a lot of light and provide an even and calming atmosphere for the entirety of the room.
Neutral lighting works well for small spaces as it evokes an atmosphere of intimacy and warmth. It’s
also great for creating an ambiance in larger rooms.

14. Wall Desk

An inexpensive yet effective way to make your living space look more comfortable and put-together.
It can also help you save money by reducing the need to purchase furniture, thus making use of
common household items to save you time with less cleaning.
One of the best ways to save room in your home is switching out bulky computer desks with wall
desks. This allows you to have more floor space for seating and doing activities you enjoy, like
playing games or having fun with friends.

15. Add Lamps

Adding lamps to your space can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Not only do the lights
provide soft illumination, but they also add color and brightness to the overall look of the room.
Depending on what you want, there are many different types of lamps that can be used in a room.
Lighting up certain aspects of the room, like adding a lamp over your desk or reading area, or maybe
even just one around an entrance hall table can make that space feel captivating.
